About The Lord Bute Hotel in Christchurch Dorset

Historical setting, elegant style

The Lord Bute Hotel used to be home to Lord Bute, the Prime Minister of England from 1762-1763. After leaving politics in 1770 he commissioned a home to be built in High Cliff for himself and his family and it was his grandson, Lord Stuart D. Rothesay who built the present Highcliffe Castle in his honour. Parts of the Hotel itself used to be the original 18th century entrance lodges to Highcliffe Castle, which have now been turned into suites.
